Prayer of St. Francis

-1-

Make me a channel of Your peace.

Where there is hatred, let me sow Your love.

Where there is injury, Your pardon, Lord.

And where there’s doubt, true faith in you.

-2-

Make me a channel of Your peace.

Where there’s despair in life, let me bring hope.

Where there is darkness only light,

And where there’s sadness ever joy.

-3-

Oh, Master, grant that I may never seek

So much to be consoled as to console,

To be understood as to understand,

To be loved, as to love, with all my soul.

-4-

Make me a channel of Your peace.

It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,

In giving of ourselves that we receive,

And in dying that we’re born to eternal life.
